... just hibernating until Galileo activity calmed down and I had cycles
to pay attention to longer-term items.

With Galileo out of the way, I have spent several days on getting the
project bootstrapped. I forked the relevant code from WTP, repackaged it
according to this project's naming convention and got everything into CVS.
If you look in CVS now (at /cvsroot/technology), you will see the
structure outlined later in this message. There is quite a bit of code and
content in there. Team project set files can be found at
/org.eclipse.fproj/releng/psfs/.

Everything in CVS HEAD currently builds (against Galileo) and runs. The
existing unit tests that were brought over from WTP are all passing as
well.

We actually even have a working build system now, courtesy of Athena
common build infrastructure and Hudson. I will post instructions later for
how to run the build locally, but anyone can now access build results on
Hudson via the following URL:

My current estimate is that 0.1 will be ready by end of July. After that,
its on to deeper API refactoring and backwards compatibility layer for
WTP. This would be an excellent time for anyone who wants to be involved
with this project (in whatever capacity) to get involved. We have an
opportunity that doesnt happen very often in framework code to make deep
changes in API, but once 1.0 ships next summer, we will have a new API
contract to maintain and will be much more limited in the type of changes
that can be done. So, if you are an existing user of this framework in
WTP, get involved and make your opinions heard. Are there parts of API
that you dislike or are giving you particular problems? Post questions and
feedback on fproj-dev@eclipse.org or the newsgroup
( http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/thread.php?group=eclipse.f proj). You
can also open bugs and enhancements against this project
